iPhone 8 Plus review: still massive – but not in a good way
The iPhone 8 Plus is a big, chunky phablet that stands out like a sore thumb in the crowded marketplace filled with sleeker rivals. It's massive, and not in a good way, in an era where a big screen doesn't have to mean a big phone.- 32-hour battery life
- great dual-camera system
- water resistant
- wireless charging
- fingerprint scanner
- bad 2014 design
- no headphone jack
- no fast charger in the box
- expensive
- massive bezels
- too wide to comfortably hold
- heavy
Apple iPhone 8 Plus review: Strong and steady
For 2017 there's a trio of new iPhones: the small-scale iPhone 8, the larger iPhone 8 Plus, and the forthcoming iPhone X (that's "iPhone 10", if you're saying it properly). The biggest and widest of the three, the iPhone 8 Plus, is far more handset than the predicted "iPhone 7S" upgrade we and many...- Power and speed that's second-to-none
- wireless charging is useful
- fast charging is finally here
- great cameras when used properly
- attractive tweaked design
- Still very large (especially width)
- Portrait Lighting can be hit and miss
- iPhone X a hard proposition to ignore
- glass design likely more prone to accidents
Apple iPhone 8 Plus review: Should one wait for the X?
Throughout the review of the Apple iPhone 8 Plus we kept asking ourselves, does it makes sense to ditch the iPhone 7 Plus and skip to this one? The answer was apparent, it can wait. Since we already know that the better iPhone – the Apple iPhone X (ten) is around the corner.
A lot of people might be holding out for the iPhone X before considering an upgrade, which is only going to hurt early sales of the 8 Plus model. However, a lack of HDR support aside, this is still a solid premium handset that impresses in pretty much every area.
- Powerhouse
- Sleek new design
- Wireless charging
- Smart integrated software

Apple iPhone 8+ Plus (256GB, Silver) - Excellent review
The iPhone 8 feels like home; the home you had been planning to upgrade for years but kept waiting for the right moment, the perfect deal, the latest piece of wonder-tech. Now it’s finally done and instead of having to accommodate to a new living space, you get to skip right to the good part.
iPhone 8 Plus review: are you really sure you want that iPhone X? (Yes, we know you are)
The main question is whether you should buy this phone or wait for the incoming iPhone X. The greatest question of the next month! Our take is that you should only wait for the iPhone X if you can embrace change. Most people can't, which is why we bring it up.- Looking aged versus rivals
- No mobile HDR
- The iPhone X is coming
- Looking aged versus rivals
- No mobile HDR
- The iPhone X is coming
Still, if you're committed to iOS your options are limited, and if you want something big, high-end and cheaper than the iPhone X then the iPhone 7 Plus is your best and only choice.
- + Very powerful
- + Premium build
- + Good dual-lens camera
- - Dated design
- - Few new features
- - Middling battery
Best I've Had!
I love this phone! I upgraded from an iPhone 7. I would have to say this is one of the best iPhones I have ever had, and I upgrade every year. The camera is bomb.com. The portrait mode is pretty cool, and even the front facing camera seems to be more clear, (less grainy).

- Superb dual-lens cameras
- Solid performance
- Good build quality
